Tire wear
I just put a new Dunlop on the rear of my heritage last fall only about 6000 miles ago. Went to check my tire pressure today and noticed it was already down to the wear bands. Anyone else have one wear that quick? I haven't, no burnouts no hard downshift very little two up. Lots of mountain backroads and interstates.

Bought mine used from a friend with 10k miles.
He bought it new.
It was on it's second set when I bought it (Harley Dunlop)
Toast at 16k...so that means 8k on the rear is about it
I put Shinko's on it and they're at 8k now.
The rear won't last the season, but guesstimating they'll go another 2k or so
40PSI cold on the rear
..L.T.A.

I got 7500 miles off of Dunlop 401’s. (3 sets)
Switched to Michelin Commander II and got about 10,000 miles.
Switched to Dunlop American Elites and after 6000 miles found a cut in the tire but the tread looked good.
Put on another Dunlop American Elite about 700 miles ago so we’ll see.
Depending on how you ride if your tire is a Dunlop 401, 6000 miles does not seem to be that unusual.

Didn't catch year, but my 2020 Road Glide gets hella mileage compared to previous Harley's. 98 Wide Glide and 02 Road King, lucky to get 10k, averaged 8k. New bike, 13.5k on rear, replaced because tread depth was at recommended replace. Front I replaced at 23.5k or so, almost double the rear. It too was replaced as well. On the old bikes I changed when wear bars were present or I seen the red stripes. Bike frames, suspension, alignment is leaps and bounds today. I could have probably gotten another couple K's if I went by my old ways...
